CUSFIDOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 764,663, dated July 12, 1904.

Application filed November 10, 1903. Serial No. 180,577. (No model.) I

To all w/mm it may concern:

Be it known that I, GUY ELLSWORTH J AR- an'r'r, a citizen of the United States, residing at Holton, in the county of Jackson and State 3 of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Cuspidor, of which the following is a specification.

This improvement relates to certain improvements in cuspidors, and more particularly to that class in which a temporary liquidcontaining receptacle is employed designed to be removed and cleaned or destroyed when soiled.

One object of the invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive, and efficient device of this character formed in three sections, the lower section forming a permanent holder or frame adapted to receive and removably support the two upper sections comprising the liq mid-containing receptacle.

A further object is to form the walls of the several sections slightly flaring, so as to permit the same to be easily nested for shipment and to provide novel means for assembling 5 and locking the sections together when set up for use. Y

The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended, it being understood that various changes in form, proportion, and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a cuspidor constructed in accordance with my invention, showing the 1 several sections assembled. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3

is a detail perspective view of the sections detached.

Similar numerals of reference indicate cor- -esponding parts in all the figures of the draw- ";r

l designates the frame or holder, preferably *iircular in shape, as shown, and formed of ietal or other suitable material, the side walls hereof being slightly flared, as indicated at 2.v Seated within the frame or holder is a liquid-containing receptacle 3, formed of paper or other suitable material, coated or otherwise specially prepared, so as to render the same water and fireproof, said receptacle being of the same general contour, but slightly smaller than the holder to permit the same to be easily introduced therein. A securing tape or strap 1 extends across the bottom of the receptacle 3, the ends of the tape or strap passing through slits or openings 5 in the walls thereof and extending a short distance above the upper edge of the receptacle to form handies 7, by means of which said receptacle may be removed from the frame or holder. The liquid-containing receptacle 3 is provided with a removable inverted-cone-shaped cover 8, having a central orifice 9, through which the liquid is introduced, said cover being provided with a peripheral flange 10, which extends downwardly over the upper edges of both receptacles when the several sections are assembled, as clearly shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings. oppositely-disposed slots or open ings 11 are formed in the cover 8 at points adjacent the flange 10, said openings being adapted to receive the handles 7 of the securing tape or strap 4, which pass through the openings and over the flange 10, the terminal portions thereof being secured to the holder by clips 12, fastened in any suitable manner to the side wall thereof.

In assembling the several sections comprising the cuspidor the liquid-containing receptacle 3 is introduced in the frame or holder and the handles 7 of the tape or strap passed through the openings 11 in the cover, after which the ends of the tape or strap are bent downwardly over the flange and fastened to the clips 12, which causes the parts to be securely locked together.

When the receptacle 3 becomes filled by constant use, the same maybe readily removed and emptied by releasing the tape or strap from engagement with the.clips and'pulling upwardly on the handles 7, thereby permitting the receptacle to be quickly detached from the frame or holder.

By having the side walls of the several sections inclined or flaring it permits said sections to be readily nested for transportation or shipment.

From the foregoing description it will be seen I have provided a separable cuspidor eapable of being manufactured at a small cost and by means of which the liquid-receptacle may be expeditiously and conveniently removed when filled or soiled.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is 1. A cuspidor comprising a plurality of telescopic receptacles, a cover common to said receptacles, and a cover-fastening means serving also as a handle for the removal of the inner receptacle.

2. A cuspidor comprising a plurality of telescopic receptacles,a cover common to said receptacles, and afastening means carried by the inner receptacle for securing the several parts together, saidfastening means serving also as a handle for the removal of the inner receptacle.

3. A cuspidor comprising a plurality of telescopic receptacles, a cover for said receptacles and a flexible strap or band arranged beneath the inner receptacle and engaging the cover for securing the several parts together.

4. A cuspidor comprising a pair of telescopic receptacles, a cover for the inner receptacle provided with a peripheral flange adapted to engage said receptacles and a strap or band carried by the inner receptacle and arranged beneath the same for securing the several parts together.

5. A cuspidor comprising a pair of telescoping receptacles, a cover for the inner receptacle provided with oppositelydisposed openings, a securing strap or band carried by the inner receptacle and adapted to engage the openings in the cover, and fastening means secured to the outer receptacle for engaging the strap and securing the several parts together.

6. A cuspidor comprising a pair of telescoping receptacles, a cover for the inner receptacle provided with oppositely-disposed openings, a securing strap or band carried by the inner receptacle and having its opposite ends passing through slits in the side walls thereof and through the openings in the cover, and means carried by the outer receptacle for engaging the strap or band and securing the several parts together.

7. A cuspidor comprising an outer rigid receptacle and an inner flexible receptacle, a cover for said receptacles and a strap or band arranged beneath the inner receptacle and engaging the cover and outer receptacle for securing the several parts together.

8. A cuspidor comprising a pair of telescopic receptacles, a cover, and a fastening means interposed between the receptacles and engaging the cover and outer receptacle for securing the several parts together.

5). A cuspidor comprising a liquid-containing receptacle, a cover, and a cover-fastening means extending beneath the receptacle and engaging said cover.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own 1 have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
